Natural recharge occurs primarily in the Cascade Range. It takes time for the recharge pulses to propagate across the basin.

The response to recharge pulses is delayed and attenuated with increasing distance from the Cascade Range. Water-Level (2 feet per mark)

Summary Our present understanding of the ground-water hydrology is based on years of careful data collection and analysis. The unique hydrologic character is due to highly permeable volcanic deposits juxtaposed against older low-permeability deposits, and the incision of the Deschutes River down to these older deposits. The ground-water system of the upper Deschutes Basin helps maintain relatively even stream flow, however ground-water levels and streamflow vary markedly in response to climate cycles. Ground-water pumped from wells and used consumptively will mostly be reflected in reductions in ground-water storage and diminished ground-water discharge to streams.
